K16 functional model: K16 is involved in a functional transition of polarized epithelial cells to motile by promoting EMT regulator genes while preserving the epithelial phenotype, enhancing the migration of tumor cells to access the bloodstream and survive as a circulating tumor cell (CTCs). These tumor cells have a semi-mesenchymal phenotype with a high capacity to generate metastasis.
